[BHS Etree]

PLEASE do not reply to this email, contact Mimi Pulich mimipulich at yahoo.com<mailto:mimipulich at yahoo.com>


VENGA PREGUNTE (VOTE)

¿Saben que hay elecciones el 6 de Noviembre que incluyen candidatos y candidatas para el Consejo Escolar de Berkeley? Hay 6 candidatos para 3 puestos. Los/las integrantes del Consejo Escolar definen la política educativa de todas las escuelas de Berkeley - y eso afecta directamente a nuestros hijos e hijas.

Es muy importante saber qué piensan sobre los temas que más nos importan y que más afectan a nuestros hijos e hijas.

Por eso, como presidenta del Berkeley PTA Council, e inmigrante hispanoparlante, quiero invitarlos al Foro de Candidatos para School Board que se va a realizar este miércoles 3 de Octubre a las 6.30 (hasta las 8.30), en el auditorio de Longfellow MIddle School (Derby and Sacramento). Quiero que estén presenten todas las voces - nuestras voces en nuestro idioma, y más allá de la condición de votante. Para eso, va a haber interpretación simultánea al español, y para quienes no puedan ir, pueden mandar sus preguntas para los candidatos a través de un formulario en Español<http://berkeleypta.org/events/bpta_candidate_forum_2018/question_form_esp>.

Por favor, circulen este email entre aquellos/as hispanoparlantes que de no haber interpretación no irían. El PTA Council quiere escuchar todas las voces! (también va a haber interpretación de árabe). (Adjunto abajo la invitación en inglés).

No duden en contactarme personalmente si tienen preguntas o dudas.

Desde ya, muchísimas gracias, y espero verlos allí.



COME VOICE (VOTE)

The Berkeley PTA Council Invites You to a FORUM with the School Board CANDIDATES

Wednesday, October 3rd from 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Longfellow Middle School, 1500 Derby St, Berkeley, CA





Did you know that three of the School Board’s five seats are up for grabs in the Nov. 6 election?



The School Board represents the public’s voice in public education - our voice! - providing citizen governance over the school district - from employing and evaluating the Superintendent to adopting policies, curriculum, and the District’s budget.



To get acquainted with candidates for 3 School Board Seats, there's a School Board Candidates Forum on October 3rd, 6.30-8.30 pm, at Longfellow Middle School Auditorium, 1500 Derby Street, with all 5 of the 6 candidates attending: Ty Alper (incumbent), Kadijah Brown, Norma Harrison, Dru Howard, Abdur Sikder, and Julie Sinai (in alphabetical order). It will allow a full, in-depth discussion of issues most important to Berkeley students, teachers, parents and guardians. The forum will feature brief candidates’ presentations, and will focus on voicing concerns and questions of the school community – students, parents, teachers, guardians – regardless of whether you are eligible to vote. Interpretation in Spanish and Arabic will be available at the event.



Come ask the candidates about the issues that most concern you! Education is about the kind of society we want.



If you can’t come, you can submit your question for the candidates here in English<http://berkeleypta.org/events/bpta_candidate_forum_2018/question_form>, Español<http://berkeleypta.org/events/bpta_candidate_forum_2018/question_form_esp> or Arabic العربية<https://berkeleypta.org/events/bpta_candidate_forum_2018/question_form_arabic>. We want everyone’s voice.



You can RSVP in our Berkeley PTA Candidates Forum facebook page<https://www.facebook.com/events/1221169961383585/>. If you can’t make it, you can watch the forum via our youtube channel<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi1z9wCNIX_TLjCBjT7ZtMw>.
